 THE ISLE OF WIGHT
Saturday 12 - Sunday 13 April
THE ISLE OF WIGHT, world famous amongst yachtsmen, is a beautiful island off England’s South Coast, with a wealth of lovely countryside, sandy beaches and a spectacular coastline. Many of the villages are full of Old World charm, and there are numerous places of interest to visit. The Island’s climate is also generally milder than the rest of England. Our hotel is situated in one of the island’s premier resorts, SHANKLIN
 On Saturday, after a short ferry crossing, our tour begins at historic OSBORNE HOUSE, where Queen Victoria lived and spent much of her time after the death of her beloved Prince Albert.
At Osborne, you will also find many personal belongings and mementoes of Victoria and her family. We then travel to the picturesque thatched village of GODSHILL for afternoon tea on the lawn— a traditional
English thing to do! Afterwards, we check into our hotel in SHANKLIN, where you can explore, swim in the hotel’s pool or take a stroll on the beach.
After breakfast on Sunday, our tour takes us to CARISBROOKE CASTLE, where King Charles I was imprisoned prior to his execution. After lunch we drive to ALUM BAY, famous for its multi-coloured sands, and THE NEEDLES, before catching our ferry back from YARMOUTH to LYMINGTON, and our drive back to London through the NEW FOREST.
The island’s history, beaches, and an indoor swimming pool make this an ideal springtime break for all ages to enjoy.
